First wedding without the safety of a video cam. Still need to work a bit on the focusing, but overall I liked how my t2i's held up.

Great angles! Some of the skin tones on the interior shots rendered a little red on my screen.

Very nice Stephen, love the use of audio over this sequence and the superb Isle shot towards the end.

Great:)

Very nice. My favorite sequence is during the ceremony when the bride looks at the groom then switch angles for his look at her. Great work.

Stephen. Nice job. I went to a StillMotion seminar and they mentioned try to "avoid mixed lighting". I now have the makeup girls use natural light. I've even been known to turn off all the yellow lights in the house/hotel room during the prep.

Hey mike.

That's actually great advice. I look forward to trying this approach on my next wedding.

Steve - very nice. Loved the scene transitions. I felt the volume of the speaker's voice could have been a little higher in relationship to the soundtrack- because it was so good. Nice images from the T2i. Thinking about getting one myself.

Hey Art...

For the price I think you'll be satisfied with the T2i's capabilities. Right now I would like to pick up an H1 for a recorder, but it's not in the budget. I couldn't bump up the audio from the celebrant anymore without there being a lot more noise in the track. When I lowered the soundtrack, again the noise from the recorder was present. It's a battle every wedding and I can't wait to upgrade.
I have an H2 that I would love to use as the main source of audio. But it's so large I can justify sticking it in the grooms pocket.

Thanks for watching either way.

Art, for a few more bucks, go with the 60D. The viewfinder alone is worth it. I have the 7D, 60D and T2i and the 60D is my main camera just because of the viewfinder.

Hey Kren...

Yeah, I'm really bummed out by the skin tone. I bumped up the saturation so that didn't help things out (obviously). Thanks for watching.

Stephen,
Maybe for the next time, but I've been struggling with skin tones also. This last weekend I started upcompressing my footage to 4:2:2 so that I could correct the color. It was worthless fixing the color on the original file. I'm liking the results I'm getting.

I like it! Wow, you did a great job with two windows directly behind them! It could've been so easy to over or underexpose.

Awesome job! I like the text styling at the beginning. You made this wedding look like a million bucks.
